[00:00.00] 作词 : Red Lane [00:01.00] 作曲 : Red Lane [00:05.88][Verse 1] [00:10.50]I was sitting beside the road in Blackjack County [00:15.78]Not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty [00:20.91]For men like me who didn't have a penny to their names [00:25.71][Refrain ] [00:27.21]So he locked my leg to thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains [00:32.16][Verse 2] [00:34.32]All we had to eat was bread and water [00:39.03]And each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter [00:44.34]And a blacksnake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained [00:49.23][Refrain ] [00:50.91]But we couldn't fight back wearing thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains [00:56.31][Instrumental Break] [01:07.38][Verse 3] [01:08.22]And then one night while the sheriff was a sleeping [01:13.56]We all gathered 'round him slowly creeping [01:18.60]And heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain [01:23.70][Refrain ] [01:24.99]When we beat him to death with the thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains [01:29.70][Verse 4] [01:31.47]Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful [01:36.69]That there's nothing but a scar round my ankle [01:42.45]Most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again [01:46.95][Refrain ] [01:48.54]To a blacksnake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chains, Blackjack County chains, Blackjack County chains
